Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 release date and Season 3 ending
What’s new in Fortnite?

Epic Games has now released Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, with plenty to keep players busy. There’s new map locations to visit, mythic cars to steal, and new bosses to take down and loot. Vehicular mayhem is the meta currently, so make sure to stay in your cars if you want to win.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has now launched, adding in plenty of vehicular mayhem to the ongoing battle royale game. There’s new bosses to take on, and even mythic vehicles to steal.
With the last Season fading in the rearview mirror, we can now look forward to the new season: Wrecked. A post-apocalyptic sandy adventure awaits us, and the ‘Wasteland Warriors’ have taken over and made a new home for themselves on the sand-swept island.
Here’s everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 ending, when Chapter 5 Season 4 starts, and what to expect. Of course, we’re very early in a new season, so it will take a little while for Epic to start teasing the next one. For a more classic experience, check out what we know about Fortnite OG coming back.
When does the current season of Fortnite end?

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will end on August 16, 2024. This is according to the main Battle Pass screen in-game. Generally, this has been pretty accurate in the past, but be aware that timings have been known to be tweaked slightly as the end of the season approaches.
It’s worth noting that last season’s timings shifted by a couple of days just before the new one was supposed to arrive, so timings here are always subject to change regarding downtime periods. The best place to keep up on specific updates closer to the launch of the new season is the Fortnite Status Twitter account. We’ll be sure to keep this page up to date as well.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 release date

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 will launch on August 16 2024, if Epic sticks to its current schedule. The thing to remember about new Fortnite seasons and chapters is that there is always a period of downtime after one ends. This downtime makes the next season’s exact start time a little tricky to predict as it can range from a couple of hours – as was the case last season – to multiple days, which has happened between chapters before.
What to expect from the next Fortnite season
Given that we’re so early into the current season, it’s no surprise that Epic is yet to tease anything substantial about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. In the past, the developer starts to drop information around a month before the launch of a new season. As such, we’re in for a bit of a wait before we hear more. Stay tuned for updates.
